1 - Check a verbose log. 2 - Try <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallInitialize" />. That works fine for me & is what is suggested in the How To page -> http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/major_upgrade.htm

My problem is that if I have a version already installed when I execute the msi the installed version is removed but the new version is not installed. In the <InstallExecuteSequence> I have <RemoveExistingProducts Before="InstallInitialize" />. Am I missing something incredibly simple. martin johnson | QA manager | xenomorph ------------------------------------------------------------------- www.xenomorph.com | t: +44 (0)20 7614 8600 | f: +44 (0)20 7614 8601 Xenomorph | First Floor, Salters' Hall, 4 Fore St, London, EC2Y 5DE ------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is confidential and is intended only for the addressee.
